Light at the end of the tunnel?!

My lo is almost 18 months, had trouble with her sleeping since about 6 months old. Co slept as she refused to stay in her cot, months and months of her fidgeting constantly in the night in bed with us, waking constantly because she's not comfortable and neither were we!!
Finally took the plunge and put her in a proper bed with a bed guard on! First few nights it didn't make a difference, then had a night where she slept through..and she's now slept through 3 nights in a row.
I'm not saying this will work for everyone, but if your lo is similar to how mine was and you feel comfortable putting them in a proper bed, then definitely try it!!! I'm not saying it's solved the problem either yet as it's early days..but she's only slept through since she's been in a proper bed..I have no idea why!
We've noticed a complete change in her behaviour too, she's not as grumpy and she's so happy now (still has a whopping tantrum when she wants to though!)
She having more or less 12 hours sleep a night now, napping slightly less during the day so she's ready for bedtime come 7.

I just wanted to post this and say if it's the only option you haven't tried, then seriously consider it. I hope it helps!!
